Not many changes, but one I thought would be important to mention.
- Inability to open virtual machine console using Google Chrome browser when NPAPI support is deprecated
When the NPAPI support in Google Chrome is deprecated, the virtual machine console provided in the vSphere Client Integration Plugin might no longer function when the Chrome browser is updated. As a result, you might be unable to open the virtual machine console using the Google Chrome browser and you might not be able to connect to devices.
This issue is resolved in this release by providing VMware Remote Console (VMRC) as a standalone application for Windows that can be used in conjunction with VMware vSphere Web Client 5.5 Update 2b and later.
You can still use the VMRC plugin console if the plugins are supported by the browser.
Standalone VMRC should be released soon. If you want to know when, you can subscribe to kb 2091284.
